Wilbur Cross has four career-themed smaller learning communities known as academies. These academies exist together as one comprehensive school, and students have numerous ways to interact with one another (such as through athletics and clubs). Within an academy, students are taught by an interdisciplinary team of teachers (English, math, science, social studies, and electives) who share the same group of students for instruction. The teacher team assumes responsibility for student educational progress across their school years, and exercises maximum flexibility and teamwork to act together on the knowledge of students’ needs and personalize learning experiences. The four academies are Business & Fine Arts, Health & Culinary Services, International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences and Law & Public Services.
